The answer to the question of food-out
As far as eating in Paris, travelers who do not know the city can be difficult to find a suitable place to eat outdoors. Think about this: you live, breathe and eat in a short time, more than 1,500 ravintolaa in a country known worldwide for its exquisite cuisine. Where to begin? And what does the warranty not the place for lunch and dinner?
Many of my American friends to the recommendations of the popular travel guide website. Good ideas. But there is a shortage: people often use the same guides. Too many tourists and kill its authenticity.
French cuisine is called
Born and lived in France for over 30 years, I found the real kotiin in the U.S., I will try to breed is very demanding when it comes to food. If you travel to Paris to cook, I want to be better than all is too high, given a price.
For the same reason, I find it very difficult to accept any of my American friends to travel to Paris and acted as ordinary food served French cuisine. Therefore, this new series of articles.
In recent trips to Paris led local friends and a few restaurants I found a really significant. First stop at Chez Georges.
All
Chez Georges is my most recent discoveries. I was invited to dinner with Philip II, a lawyer specializing in the areas of mediation in record time. Philip had lunch at Chez Georges "in the past 20 years, it is the object location. He also has its own table. In a state of very concrete things, like Chez Georges" is still in full swing and if reserved at least 48 hours in advance to get a table.
The decor is typical French 1920-1930, with mosaic floors, large mirrors on the walls, dark brown wood, paint and sand. The restaurant has two rooms, so very close. The first room is a bar and several small tables. Is close to the doors and windows, which is well lit. Behind it is the larger of two rows of tables. And worse, no windows. Kitchen (breakfast) is located in the back of the room and a bathroom with a step.
The place is full and apparently very busy. Smells, and even if the customer does not find the smoking cigarette smoke is a problem. The atmosphere is friendly, energetic and full of life. No elevator music to bother, but it sounds as a response to your neighbors. Now Paris, no doubt, but I've seen some people of America for lunch.
Trick
Our group has six pre Zoe server, a feast for the eyes. This smile is brunette to the restaurant manager, a good man, usually married in the bar and desktop hardware. Zoe is a nice word for anyone who can explain in detail a menu command, which is good for you, and moves him.
Chez Georges menu is varied and tasty. All spells, French traditions. We decided on such a large selection of appetizers to share, including rillettes (pork pie type, duck and goose), pink radish, herrings, potato nose (beef muscles), and other delicacies.
Goods have been helped by high doses should be swallowed whole, and a few bottles of white Sancerre. (Sancerre is a light red wine or white wine. It consists of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot grown black and Touraine.) We have two of bread, like bread, perfect for Poile
Then he took the first course: duck breast with potatoes for me, please, pink. (In my book, duck is cooked in reality it is difficult to accept.) Soon dishes. Duck breast, perfectly cooked, thick and soft as it should be. Wealth of wonderful food! Rates with a bottle of red wine from Chinon, wine in my hometown has become. What needs to be condemned!
All's well that ends well
Dessert was delicious as the rest of abundant food. I had a tart tatin, baked apple pie caramelized top. Apple slices cooked in sugar first, cover the dough and fry in a little while. been translated After baking the cake, so that the mass now compatible with apples. The result is a very tender cake with a sweet but not overwhelming. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
All meals are prepared, delicious coffee. Control was very reasonable: It was about $ 60 per person one memorable party, which included groups of elements, six foot, seven cans of dessert, 3 bottles of wine, coffee and all. Expect to pay $ 30 for a light meal and wine less.
Although a large body, the food was easy to digest. I feel a little bloated drunk "several pieces of light wine. Products are of high quality, fresh bread. Services received was fast and friendly.
Definitely the place I recommend to visit my friend!
